The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
Sand forms sedimentary rocks such as sandstone. Sandstone containing mostly quartz can form the metamorphic rock quartzite.
Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.
Quartz sandstone, aka arenite, can form the metamorphic rock called quartzite.
Sandstone, limestone, and shale are examples of sedimentary rocks. Granite, basalt, and obsidian are examples of igneous rocks.
Parent rocks of metamorphic rocks can include sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and other metamorphic rocks. Some common parent rocks are shale, granite, and basalt. The mineral composition and texture of the parent rock influence the characteristics of the resulting metamorphic rock.

metamorphic rocks are formed from sandstone
Sedimentary rocks such as shale, limestone, and sandstone can recrystallize to form metamorphic rocks like slate, marble, and quartzite, respectively. Igneous rocks like basalt and granite can also undergo recrystallization to form metamorphic rocks such as greenstone and gneiss.

Quartz sandstone, aka arenite, can form the metamorphic rock called quartzite.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
Intermediate materials in the rock cycle include sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale, which are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediments. These rocks can undergo metamorphism to form metamorphic rocks like marble and schist. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, can melt to form magma that solidifies into igneous rocks like granite and basalt.
Gneiss is neither limestone nor sandstone. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks such as granite or sedimentary rocks under high heat and pressure. The resulting gneiss typically exhibits banded layers of minerals.
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc
